ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between the self-control, self-esteem, and emotional and behavioral problems of adolescents at risk for internet addiction and those of adolescents without risk. The participants were 60 adolescents at risk for internet addition who scored higher than 41 points based on the internet addiction scale and 61 adolescents without risk who scored lower than 16 points based on the internet addiction scale. The independent sample t-test and correlation coefficients were implemented for data analyses. The research results were as follows. First, the self-control of adolescents at risk for internet addiction was statistically significantly lower than that of adolescents without risk. Second, the self-esteem of adolescents at risk for internet addiction was statistically significantly lower than that of adolescents without risk. Third, the emotional and behavioral problems of adolescents at risk for internet addiction were statistically significantly higher than those of adolescents without risk. Fourth, the self-control of adolescents at risk for internet addiction was correlated with the self-esteem positively and the emotional and behavioral problems negatively. The limitations of the study, implications for special education settings, and suggestions for future research were discussed.
